This Cozy and Sweet Honey Cinnamon Dessert is a delightful, easy-to-make treat that combines the warm flavors of honey and cinnamon in a soft, buttery cake. Perfect for a comforting snack or a simple dessert, this recipe uses pantry staples and fresh ingredients to create a spiced, sweet baked good with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pantry Staples:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and packed light brown sugar until smooth and combined. Then add the large egg, honey, and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until all ingredients are fully blended.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the wet mixture. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing and keep a tender texture.
  4. Spread and top: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining half teaspoon of ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet, flavorful crust.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The dessert is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg during mixing.
  • For a deeper cinnamon flavor, you can adjust the cinnamon quantity slightly to taste.
  • This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra honey.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend of equal measure.
